I've been driving the same route at the same week of the year from SW Michigan to the Orlando Florida area for the past 3 years in a row, skipped last year but went this year and saw the crops of corn/beans to be pretty close to 50/50 rotation, 60/40 at the worst. This year , it's 90/10 at best  . If all of the corn crop I saw from the 2200 mile round trip along the interstates yields decently, I can see $2 corn in the near future  .

A lot of corn goes overseas to feed others... High demand most years. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Well if we're to believe the USDA, corn and bean acres are both slightly up in the last report, but I doubt it's 90/10 maybe it's just how the rotation is or looks along the road this year. I've been told that they're predicting a 179bu corn crop and if it gets under 176 things are going to get tight.(and just 25 years ago 150 was big) Big move up today in corn and they're thinking it's because from central Ill west the corn belt is dry, but then again someone always needs to make a little on the board  . Time will tell, and if they catch wind that someone planted 2 extra rows of corn in their garden, they'll use it to run the price down to make a little there too, but in the end if it's short they'll pay and if it's a bin buster they'll steal it. ------------- "Thank you for your service Joe & the Ho"-----Joseph Stalin |

Ag News this very morning noted drops in Wheat(down close to 40%) Millet(down close to 20%)with corn and soy yields to be hard hit due to the western drought and excess water in the midwestern states. I am not seeing bumper crop year here. |

| The way it rained this weekend and what they are calling for this week most of the wheat that's still in the fields around here in Ohio will be sprouting. |

Like I mentioned Kansas, this was my observation from the Interstate routes
 . Hopefully "someone" planted beans this season |

| I've been traveling in 2 states the past week. The corn and beans look terrible in the north half of this state and just as bad in the south 1/2 of Minnesota. Hoping those guys have something. |

| Corn and soybeans in Northern Indiana and Ohio and Southern Michigan look great. The wheat crop that's left to harvest is in trouble if it doesn't quit raining! |

How can we have a above average crop this year ? The people not complaining about drought are worried about getting washed away. Oh that's right the happy people are keeping their mouth closed. |

| Many as our renter are not complaining as they only crop up for Silage. |

| Most of my neighbors here in east central Illinois are on a 50\50 crop rotation. My farmer I help does it every year. |
